Mid - High End Gaming PC

[jamiefmolloy]

I've made a build that will should be able to run everything at ultra with high frame rates, just wanted to check with some experts to make sure I won't have any problems. Do I have enough power? Thanks in advance.

Tweaked it for you.

Your build is fine..... Great processor .. You can overclock should the need arise for you to do so ( if you don't plan on overclocking though, then don't go for the Intel Core i5-4690K, go for the non k version which is the same level of performance but not for overclocking and is a little cheaper... You have a very decent graphics card, excellent RAM , Storage etc...Great quality PSU.. Excellent storage-- I love that you include that SSD- it should provide much needed speed..

Okay thanks for the advice, I will change that now as I don't plan on overclocking! Unless you recommend that I do overclock? I thought I wouldn't need to as the gpu is pretty good?

Overclocking a processor doesn't make a difference in gaming... That's really for more cpu intensive tasks such as rendering , modelling and high level music production..

Ah okay cool, shouldn't be an issue then as gaming is the only thing I plan to do on it really. I have a mac for my music production so I don't think I'll be needing to download FL Studio on my pc anytime soon 😉
